we have been leasing for years. Present lease, 2015 dodge ram 1500 crew cab with a hemi, has all the toys, GPS, upgraded radio and speakers. value $41K
we put down $1200 for the taxes, registration and all that and pay $344 for 3 years with 12k miles per year. Totals out to $13k for driving a decked out, $41k truck.
The payments for 3 years would not have been that low.
Previous lease (2) matching, his and hers, new 2012 Honda Accords Top of the line, V6, sunroof, leather value $36K each, and all that $725 a month for 2....no money down.
So we will probably always have a lease payment, but we will drive a new car every 3 years.....so....
we did however purchase a in town car from Jenkins in Lakeland new 2015 Sentra basic model, but great gas mileage and not many toys, for cask $14k out the door.....but its a lesser car for a lesser price. We could have leased a luxury car for just about the same money...
so...whatever you choose....but remember...when your lease it up you need to have done the research to get into another lease or buy something...because the car has to go back when you lease. But deals are out there..
